GRIST OF POLICE COURT
Aislt to Home of Divorced "SClfe Is
Betels of Charge Against John
Xordeau Speedy Drivers
Are Reprimanded.
Adolph Leanders, son of a bricklayer
residing in Lower Albino, will serve 30
days in the City Jail because of his per
sistence in seeking luxuries that are
open only to the offspring: of million
aires. I-eanders is suffering from aa
acute mania. for riding about In automo
biles and carriages. Notwithstanding
his lack of means, be has managed to
secure big touring cars every few nights,
having the bill charged with the lofty
assertion that he would drop around and
pay up as soon as he could get to the
bank.
Automobile drivers and coachmen have
been after Leanders' scalp for some
months past. Many of them have been
victimized, at least one driver being
kept out all night with a big 40-horse-power
touring tar, only to be staved off
f.r his pay when the hour for settle
ment came with the dawn. But there
was no recourse, for it isn't a criminal
offense to have a bill for auto hire
charged, even though the chauffeur pro
tests until he is black in the face. . The
only protection that could be had against
l.i andors was that of publicity, and, act
ing on that theory, descriptions of the
young fraud were passed about among
the various professionals.
Leanders' fall came yesterday morning,
however, after he had been out the Linn
ton road in company with Arthur Cart
wright and two young women. When
the touring car reached town Leanders
asked that the bill of $15 be charged
to his account and the driver refused to
do this, demanding immediate payment.
There was a wrangling match at Stark
and Sixth streets, which could be heard
a block away, the driver waxing abusive
and Leanders respondingin kind. Other
drivers began collecting and Cartwrlght
then joined In the squabble. A fist fight
was imminent and only the arrival of
Patrolman Barzee prevented trouble.
The cause of the disturbance was ex
plained to the officer, but there seeemed
no charge under which Leanders could
be arrested, as he had not used abusive
or profane language. Inasmuch as it
was past 2 o'clock A. M., the officer final
ly tliok both young men to the station,
where they were locked up for being out
after hours without lawful business.
The offense Is not a serious one, but
on account of Leanders' past habits Mu
nicipal Judge Cameron decided to make
him pay for a few of his previous sins.
Attention was called by Deputy City At
torney Tomlinson to the fact that simi
lar complaints had been made against
Leanders in the past and the court then
Imposed a sentence of 30 days in the City
Jail.
"1 ' thought Cartwright was going to
pay for the drive," said Leanders." He
invited the young women to go and I
only went along.
"Leanders Invited me and I thought,
of course, he was going to pay," pro
tested Cartwright, who is employed by
a local Arm as stenographer.
In view of Leanders' past record he
had to stand the full burden of retribu
tion. Young Cartwright was given a mild
lecture and allowed to depart under, a
continued sentence.
John Nordeau will have to stand trial
in the Municipal Court today because he
went home yesterday.
There is no enigma in the statement,
but It Is literally true. Nordeau went
to his home at 314 East Forty-seventh
street. deposited his personal effects in
the hall and proceeded to make himself
comfortable.
Mrs. Nordeau ordered him out. She
called attention to the fact that she se
cured a divorce from him several weeks
ago and that accordingly she didn't care
to entertain strange men at the house.
She said she was in no mood for recon
ciliation, that she had been relieved of
the necessity of loving, honoring and
obeying and that she wished he would
depart at once. Nordeau didn't want
to go.
M. B. Meacham. a lawyer who se
cured the divorce for Mrs. Nordeau. was
notified of the visitation, and he went
to the Municipal Court and secured a
warrant for the arrest of Nordeau,
charging the one-time head of the house
hold with trespassing. A few minutes
later Patrolman "Wilson went to the
place where Nordeau was lately lord and
master and ejected him bodily. The of
ficer took the Intruder to the police sta
tion,' where he was booked and locked
up pending his appearance In court thts
morning.
M. Barde. of 628 Fourth street, will
also favor the courtroom with his pres
ence because of having left his automo
bile In the street over night, as ex
pressly prohibited by the city ordinances.
lr. Barde called on the police yester
day, following the Issuance of a war
rant for his arrest, to report that the
auto was left out for use in case of emer
gency, Mrs. Barde being 111. Fearing her
condition might necessitate the Imme
diate services of a physician during the
niKht, ho had the machine all In readi
ness. Accordingly he said he thought
he ought to be relieved from prosecution.
Tatrolman Stark Lytle investigated
this and reported to headquarters that
he thought the excuse was hardly well
warranted, and so the charge was not
- dropped.
Three other automobile drivers were
In trouble because of having engaged In
experiments seemingly to overcome mo
mentum to such a degree as to baffle
the s.se of sight. Fred A. Krebs. E.
V Manning and E. A. Jenkins were all
before the court charged with having
driven their machines at a pace which
suggested they were pursuing bullets
tired from a high-power rifle.
Krebs and Manning pleaded guilty and
Jenkins was found guilty after a brief
trial. The court gave them a scathing
lecture on the evils and dangers of
scorching and turned them loose under
suspended sentences.

ARTHUR ALEXANDER,
II WANT ROOMS
Accommodations Lacking for
Rose Festival Guests.
CITIZENS MUST ASSIST
President Whltemore "Crge9 Need of
Co-operation or Local Hotels
and Lodging-Houses, as
Well as Householders.
"If we are to be proper hosts and host
esses for the many thousands of guests
that will be here during the Rose Festi
val, our citizens, that Is, our hotels, our
lodging-houses, boarding-houses, apartment-houses
and private homes which
have accommodations for visitors must
assist us in providing bed and board for
them In a much more satisfactory man
ner than has been done in the past."
This statement was made last night by
Proolrtont c A. 'Whltemore. of the Port- 1
land Rose Festival. Applications have '
been received from every part of the
Northwest for board and rooms, from
small and large parties, and the reserva
tions and accommodations registered with
the information and accommodation bu
reau of the Festival are less than one
third the demand already made.
According to President Whitemore, the
interest shown in the Festival will mean
that tens of thousands of people will be
here, and unless suitable accommodations
are provided, Portland will not be able to
take care of the great Influx at the last
moment.
"We are to have not less than four
Pullman cars filled with Chicago real es
tate men here for the Festival," said
President Whitemore last night, "and so
far as we have been able to learn, none
of the local hotels have made any bid for
accommodating this crowd of visitors.
I also know of two or three large tour
ist parties of Easterners, one from New
England, one from New York, and another
from the South, each comprising not less
than 100 people, who will be here. A num
ber of Eastern Oregon communities have
asked us what rates would be made for
visitors, and we have every reason to
believe that Baker City, Sumpter. Pen
dleton, Heppncr and other towns in that
region will send large delegations here,
and what are we going to do with them
unless previous preparations are made?"
Nearly 60 automobile entries for the com
petitive motor-car contest to be held June
4, were made within the last two days,
and it now looks as if this turn-out will
be one of the most brilliant features of
the entire week's programme. Denver and
Salt Lake entries have already been re
ceived and applications have come from
the Spokane Automobile Club. What Se
attle and Tacoma will do is largely prob
lematical, although the local committee
has been assured that a good many
motor-car owners of the Sound country
are planning to make the trip from both
Seattle and Tacoma to Portland, after the
formal ceremonies of welcoming the war
ship fleet Is over. Local automobile agen
cies have sent urgent letters to agencies
at both Sound cities, asking them to take
part, not only In the 100-mile and 60-mlle
race on Wednesday, but also in the
grand competitive motor-car run on
Thursday.
Master Fish Warden Harry C. MeAllis
ter? who Is chairman of the water car
nival committee, has just returned from
Astoria, and reports that there will be
not less than 50 and probably 100 entries
from the down-river town in the marine
pageant in the local harbor on Wednes
day night. He says he found the Astoria
people very enthusiastic and that every
commercial and pleasure craft, large and
small, of all classes, would be sent up to
Portland for the marine carnival, so far
as conditions would permit.
Collaborating with Harbormaster Speier,
Chairman McAllister is endeavoring to
persuade the 40 or 50 dock-owners along
the beach to clean up and dress up their
property for the Festival week. Most of
them say they will not only have a house
cleaning day, but will decorate In Festival
colors: but what is more essential, ac
cording to the committee, is to have
everybody join in the movement.
As a sample of the real Festival spirit,
the improvement clubs in more than half
the districts on the East Side have un
dertaken the work of cleaning up their
own territory. Some time ago the Cham
ber of Commerce Inaugurated a "house
cleaning" movement, but the committee
did nothing, and so the East Side or
ganizations have gone ahead and cleared
up their front yards, their back yards and
their street frontages. The work Is still
going on.

CAREER
ON
CYPRUS
Rev. W. R. Llvingstne, Missionary,
Visits City.
Rev. W.- R. Livingstone, an' Episcopal
missionary and a cousin of the late
David Livingstone, whose career has been
almost as adventurous as that of his
famous relative, ia In Portland after a
journey of several thousand miles from
the Holy Land, where he has been preach
ing the Gospel. For several years Rev.
Mr. Livingstone has been located on the
Isle of- Cyprus. 12 miles from Jerusalem,
and has been engaged in missionary and
educational work at Plato and Socrates,
the two principal cities of the island.
Rev. Mr. Livingstone has had a career
equalled by but , few. Five years ago,
when stationed in Southern Russia, while
making a journey from Baku to Batoun,
a distance of 900 miles, he was seized by
soldiers of the Czar and locked up as a
spy. His only offense was to have at
tempted the inspection of some of the
Russian barracks, but nevertheless he
narrowly escaped from being put to
death. He was able to convince one of
the high officers of his Innocence, how-
ever, ana was auowea nis ireeaom. wnue
in Batoun, Rev. Mr. Livingstone preached
among a people where 13 languages were
commonly spoken, and he was compelled
to use four or five languages himself. Ba
toun Is but a few miles from Mount
Ararat, where the ark rested after the
great flood, and the missionary has sev
eral times climbed the mountain.
On the Isle of Cyprus, one of the
larger Mediterranean group, where the
missionary spent the last three years, the
Greek and Roman Churches, he says, are
doing much to help the extension of re
ligion. The work of the Greek school
masters he describes as being most
praiseworthy. Foreign missionaries are
aided by these people end everything
Is done to make the work easy for them.
One English newspaper is published on
the island, while six Greek papers have
a general circulation in Plato and Soc
rates. The island Is owned by the Turks, but
is controlled by the British. The ma
jority of lis Inhabitants are Greeks. The
ruling body, according to Rev. Mr. Liv
ingston, is a Parliament, where speeches
and addresses are translated into three
tongues. The Greek women, says the.
missionary, are as pretty as the white
women, as a rule, and are much better
educated than the women of Turkey.
Rev. Mr. Livingston was for several
years inspector of Greek schools at
Cyprus. He declares that the Eastern
Mediterranean has cause to be grateful
to American missionaries for the admir
able examples of institutions of learning
at Beyrout. Visiting Tarsus, the mis
sionary spent a few days as the guest of
Dr. Christie, the well known American
missionary.
Rev. Mr. Livingston is a Britisher and Is
a graduate, with an CM. A. degree, from
Oxford and Melbourne. He is tired of for
eign countries and hopes to remain for
a while, If possible. In America. He Is
thinking of locating In Oregon. The mis
sionary has followed President Roosevelt's
administration and thinks him an admir
able man. Rev. Mr. Livingston was a
delegate to the recent peace congress and
abhors war or fighting of any kind. He
is much opposed to the so-called capital
ist class of this country and declares that
the morals of the English business man
are much higher than those of his Amer
ican brother. Rev. Mr. Livingston reg
istered at the Hotel Danmoore.

DECIDE SENATORIAL FIGHT
Newcomers Are Not Concerned in
Local Factions, Cake Partisans
Reason, and Will Naturally
Vote for the Republican.
Each side in the contest between Cake
and Chamberlain for United States Sen
ator declares that Its candidates will win
by between 5000 and 10,000 votes in the
election 10 days hence. The Cake forces
are much encouraged by events of this
week and say that the Republican party
vote Is unmistakably uniting In support
of Cake. - .
Each camp virtually concedes that the
"new vote' may decide the contest. This
vote is composed mostly of newcomers
in Oregon to the probable number of
25.000, of whom 10,000 are registered in
Multnomah County. A considerable
number also are young men who have
resided some years In .this state and have
Just come to the voting age. Both Cake
and Chamberlain men figure that most
of the probable 26.000 Increase is made
up of men who are normally Repub
licanperhaps between 15,000 and 20,000
of them this because they come from
Republican Btates of the East and the
Middle West.
Anxiety in Chamberlain Ranks.
The Cake men profess confidence that
most of the new vote will be cast for
Cake, the Republican nominee. This
opinion in the Cake camp is matched
by anxiety In the Chamberlain ranks. If
the election were in the hands of the
voters who twice have elected Chamber
Iain Governor, Democrats would have
more confidence in the outcome. But
the 15,000 or 20,000 new Republicans who
never have shared in the factional wars
of the Republican party in Oregon and
know little of the old rivalries, give the
Chamberlain forces a large amount of
worry.
So much concern has this new vote In
jected Into the Democrats that they are
relying on the outside counties to elect
Chamberlain, where the bulk of the old
vote dwells. They do not count on a
large majority In Multnomah County for
their candidate, although some of them
may announce the contrary. The, 10,000
new registered votes in this county, of
whom 7500 are probably Republicans, if
adhering to the party ticket, would cer
tainly give Multnomah Oounty to Cake
by a big majority. On this expectation
the Cake men are basing their reliance.
J. P. Kennedy, chairman of the Repub
lican county committee, said yesterday
that most of the new vote undoubtedly
will be cast for Cake.
Not Interested in Factions.
"This vote." ' he remarked, "comes
from Republican states, where the people
are not familiar with the factional wran
gles that have convulsed the Republican
party in Oregon. This vote will have no
wish to continue those wrangles, espe
cially wtfien it sees National Issues In
volved. The time has come for ending
factional wars in the Republican party
of this state. I believe that the many
thousands of new Republican voters will
take this view and support Mr. Cake."
The Cake reliance on this vote has
put vim Into his campaign. In Jackson
County, where there is a large new ele
ment of population, he has made a vig
orous campaign. In Multnomah County
his supporters are putting forth their
energy. Elsewhere Cake is working ac
tively for Republican support also.
Chamberlain has been campaigning for
the Republican vote that twice elected'
him Governor, in many parts of the state,
but will wind up his fight in the county
where he needs a majority most Mult
nomah. If it were not for Multnomah County's
10,000 new votes, the Democrats would
feel easier.
MANNING TAIKS TO VOTERS
Democratic Campaign Rally at
Nashville Largely Attended.
A campaign rally was held at Nash
ville under the auspices of the Demo
cratic cdunty central committee last
night, which was attended by a large
and enthusiastic crowd of voters. Dis
trict Attorney John Manning, who is a
candidate for re-election; Tom M.
Word, the shrievalty candidate; John
A. Jeffreys, the aspirant for Congress,
and A. King Wilson and Walter C.
Farnham, candidates for the State
Legislature, addressed the gathering;.
Mr. Manning was greeted with con
siderable enthusiasm when he arose to
speak on the Issues of the campaign,
and while explaining his conduct of the
case against the officials of the
wrecked Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany bank he was frequently Inter
rupted by prolonged applause. In ad
dition to the candidates, short talks
were made by John H. Stevenson and
Edward Cahalin. The Oregon quartet
contributed several pleasing musical
numbers during the evening.
POSSE TRAILS SUSPECT
Will Arrest Frank Peterson for
Shooting Charles Stevens.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., May 2L
(Special.) A Sheriff's posse tonight Is
hunting the country between this city
and Wapato for Frank Peterson, sus
pected of being the man who this morn
ing fired at Charles Stevens, rancher of
Wapato, with a Winchester rifle, wound
ing Stevens In the arm.
The crime was committed in an alfalfa
field half a mile from the reservation
town. The would-be assassin, with an
unknown friend, took up a position on
the bank of the irrigation canal, com
manding a view over the alfalfa of Ste
vens home.' The latter came out of his
house about o'clock and began hoeing
in his cantaloupe field. Almost immedi
ately the shot was fired.
Peterson Is suspected because he has
had trouble with his wife, from whom
he has separated, and he has been heard
to assert that she was becoming too
friendly with Stevens. Peterson has a
small ranch In the Selah and lately has
been working in Wapato.

May Last Until June 1.
WASHINGTON, May 21. It was
stated at the Capitol today on appar
ently good authority that Congress
would not adjourn earlier than Mon
day, May 25, and that there ru a pos
sibility of the session being prolonged
until June 1. The unsettled condition
of several important measures which
are now In conference between the
two houses and the doubt that exists
as to the final disposition of the public
buildings bill, have combined to
make impossible an adjournment this
week. While Speaker Cannon was not
willing today to make any statement
for publication, It is known that the
House leaders are planning to get
